1. Introduction Continued
NEVER Do the Following:
ALWAYS Do the Following:
• Never band a trowel on the heating mat or lead wires to remove excess mortar from it.
• Never attempt to repair Peel & Stick Radiant Heat Film. If it is damaged, call 888-379-9695 for instructions
before proceeding.
• Never install in wet areas, such as showers.
• Never install without the floor sensor.
• Do not install the mats in any walls.
• Never install mats under cabinets or other built-ins. Excessive heat will build up in these small spaces,
and the mat can be damaged by fasteners (nails, screws, etc.) used to install built-ins.
• Never install under nail down wood flooring.
• Never remove the nameplate label from the power leads.
• Never allow solvent based products such as sealers or sealants (including silicone) to come in contact
with the membrane.
• Never install mats on subfloors where moisture vapor emissions rate is above 4 lbs per 1000 sqft per 24
hours per a Calcium Chloride test method.
• Protect the circuit supplying power to the Peel & Stick Radiant Heat Film mats with a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI).
• Install floor sensor.
• Completely cover the heating mats and factory connections in mortar (tile and stone) or glue (wood and
LVT that is 4mm or thicker) or self-leveling underlayment (laminate and non-masonry) materials.
• Refer to the TCNA Handbook recommendations and ANSI references for proper substrate needed for thin-
set tile installations and for recommendations on proper Movement Joints within the plane of the tile per
Detail EJ-171.
Installation & Owner’s Guide 2
CAUTION:
The heating mat’s edge is left unsealed from the factory so that it can
be cut to fit and then sealed for proper moisture proofing. Even if
cutting is not needed, sealing the edge of the mat is still required as
it is not pre-sealed out of the box! Familiarize yourself with sealing
the mat’s edge on page 10, step 3. Failing to do this step can result in
undesired GFCI tripping and will void the warranty.
